Off String Atom Smasher
Here's another attempt of mine at transferring on-string tricks to the off-string realm. Like the on-string version, it contains two underpasses and a somersault.


Picture




Land the yo-yo on the string after the throw and proceed to the next step.


Picture



Grab the strings like shown.


Picture



Drape the yellow string over the left index finger.


Picture



Lift the white string up by raising your right hand.


Picture



It's now time to begin one of the underpasses. Pull the yellow string down.


Picture



Thread the yellow string into the groove of the yo-yo.




Picture



After you complete the first underpass you'll be in this position.


Picture



It's now time to do the second underpass. This time it's with the white string.


Picture


Pull the white string down and thread ONLY the white string into the groove of the yo-yo.


Picture



After you do the underpass you'll arrive at the same position that you were in before you did the underpass.


Picture



"Atom Smasher" wouldn't be complete without those somersaults, so pull the two strings forward and do them like you usually would.


Picture



After the somersaults, take the yellow string off the left index finger and you're finished.


Whether you do "Atom Smasher" on-string or off-string, it's always a fan favourite.
